I am NOT as dumb as I look.

It could be a decoy bag, next time check the contents.

My good old Mom (now 92) told us kids we had to eat 5 pounds of dirt before we died. So we played outside, dug in the dirt for worms, caught lizards and frogs. And if our cookie fell on the floor we picked it up and ate it anyway.
Later on during my pediatric rotations in medical school, I discovered that the kids with the most obsessive-compulsive, fastidious about cleanliness Mommies, were the same kids that got the most colds, were first to develop the latest flu of the season. And the same kids who were most prone to asthma and other allergic disorders.
So all you clean freaks out there, get over yourselves.

YOu are so right. You can't build immunity and be healthy if your body never faces things to build defenses against. Unless your immune system is compromised with chemo or some such thing, you are better off not being too persnickity.

In fact it is better for you to not overdo the germ remover wipes and such.

Thank you kind sir for your wisdom.

Just trying to get this political thing straightened out for you.

Thank you for the information about bringing the dog poop from home to the mail station. Will make my life much easier. Never thought of that!
I too was allowed to eat dirt and not freak out over every possible germ around and am pretty healthy so I guess it works - and yes I even walk around the house with my shoes on.

I still think it is not necessary to bring the dog to the mail center. There are miles of other pathways to walk the dog on.

Plus, it's often difficult to carry all the junk mail and real mail and packages home with only one hand, when the other hand is holding the dog leash.

Better yet, take the dog for a golf cart ride to go and get the mail, and leave the dog harnessed in the seat for one minute while you get the mail. Then there would be NO dog messes there.

I'm impressed. I thought the community watch rode around in vehicles. Now I know they maintain a 24 hr. vigil at the front window.

In my experience, most pet owners carry their own bags, it's just the disposal of these bags that is the problem. The mail stations are not dog parks!

There is a solution that is absolutely free of cost and does not inconvenience non-pet owners. Bag the stuff and take it home for disposal.

Words of wisdom to live by.

Good point.

Some is a lot easier to pick up than others.
